Consumer Description

FIRST PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE BRAIN IN THE TRANSMISSION AREA. HESITATING, LUNGING FORWARD AND TACHOMETER JUMPING WHEN TAKING OFF AND DURING DRIVING DOWN THE ROADS/HIGHWAYS. HAD DIAGNOSTICS TESTS DONE (MARCH 3, 2016.) REPLACED BRAIN AND IT STOPPED THE HESITATION, LUNGING AND TACHOMETER JUMPING=$2700.00. NEXT PROBLEM CAME ALONG WHEN WE STARTED HEARING A TICKING SOUND WHEN IT WAS STARTED IN THE DRIVEWAY(MAY 16, 2016.) COME TO FIND OUT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN WHICH IS NOW GOING TO COST $6700.00. WE HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED OUR VEHICLES WITH PROPER CARE AND ATTENTION, BUT HOW CAN ALL THESE MAJOR THINGS GO WRONG AT ONLY 108000 MILES???
